Although public transportation is generally preferred for international travel, sometimes “renting a car” may also be necessary. Today, I will talk about what you need to pay attention to when renting a car abroad, my recommendations on this subject and how you can rent a car abroad safely.
How to Rent a Car Abroad?
It is practical to rent a car abroad. is no different from within the country.. All international airports have offices where you can rent a car.. You can rent your car by applying here. But I don’t think this is the best method !
Yes, it is very important to book in advance when renting a car abroad. Because you cannot predict whether there is an empty vehicle for you at the airport you landed on that day.. It is also possible that you will encounter exorbitant prices in a foreign country and make unnecessary expenses.

Overseas Car Rental Companies
Most car rental companies operating in our country are already foreign companies.. As a result, we are not far from these companies at all..
So which company should we choose when renting a car abroad? My suggestion would be to choose big companies operating internationally instead of local companies.. In this way, your chances of being victimized in a bad situation that may happen to you with your vehicle are greatly reduced !

Is Our Driving License Valid Abroad?
The shortest answer to this question will be “yes”. As of 2017, our new chip driver’s licenses are valid almost everywhere in the world.. The only issue you may have trouble with here is; If you are renting a car in a country with a different alphabet, you may also be asked to have a certified translation of your driver’s license.
As the flexibility in this matter is usually left to the companies, it is imperative that you obtain information via e-mail beforehand.

Where Should We Make the Reservation?
You can make the reservations you will make while renting a car abroad directly to the company you will rent or the vehicle websites. I know that you can easily reach these intermediary sites when you search for “rent a car” on Google!
“Can we trust these sites?” I seem to hear you say. If you prefer a large site with a well-known name, it would be the best approach to trust, but since you make the payment in advance on these sites, it is possible to have problems with reservation changes.
However, while I was renting a car in Dubai, a company made a free payment from its own site. With reservation I received my vehicle comfortably !

What Should We Pay Attention to When Picking Up the Vehicle?
First of all, when receiving the vehicle, documents such as license you must make sure it is complete. I include the one that you rented into these documents.
Other than that, what I do classically is walking around it with video recording while taking delivery of the vehicle.. In this way, I can prevent minor damages that may be overlooked at that moment from causing problems in delivery.

Is it Necessary to Have Insurance?
I’m sure you all trust your driver very much.. especially gentlemen in our country are always very assertive about this!
Yes, I have been driving in a big city like Istanbul for years, but I still prefer full coverage insurance for the cars I rent abroad..
The biggest reason for this is that traffic also includes a different culture in each country. What do I mean? For example, when you are driving in Baku, you must be ready for people who jump out in front of you! It is imperative to take precautions against traffic with different dynamics in every country !
